    Cardiff Council SUV surcharge

    As we are in a new build we ended up tied into British Gas-although we have changed to the same 7p per kWh rate for off peak. Having solar panels also makes a decent dent in the electricity bill.

    Cardiff Council SUV surcharge

    I think I would get anxious taking it too far- realistic range is 160 miles on a charge but as long as access to top up it would be fine. Very smooth and comfortable- but not as much fun as our Mini Cooper!

    Travel to the good ol USA

    Been for work (New Hampshire) and pleasure (Orlando) in recent months. Orlando seemed much quieter to me (at least at Universal) than previous visits. Certainly the better exchange rate (1.35 v 1.20) compensated for higher prices. There were several no-shows at the conference I was at in NH (GRC...

    Music

    Was listening to "across the rooftops" earlier. Whilst I typically like pretty alternative stuff, it's such a beautiful record. There's an alternate universe where 'Tinseltown in the Rain' was number one for weeks.

    Cardiff Council SUV surcharge

    There's a lot to the SUV status symbol. Who needs a 'Chelsea Tractor' for the school run and shopping? We bought an EV last week. Hyundai Inster-small four seat mini-SUV style that's more than adequate for the that job or my 15min run to work and son's 30 mins to University. It replaced a small...

    Cardiff Council SUV surcharge

    Lots of challenges with safe hydrogen for road vehicles. Worked pretty well for Saturn V rockets and easily generated, but logistical challenges abound. Probably the easiest solution would be small local plants that are a direct source of fuel. Could see this for HGVs, but convenience of home...

    Ever seen 'The Hunger Games'? If you want dystopia then vote Reform.

    Wore Both Colours: Alan Curtis, Swansea Icon and Southampton Forward

    Valleys Phil. The Rhondda is two valleys that meet at Porth. Curt is from the Rhonnda Fawr where I grew up up from age 7,

    I miss this era, immensely.

    I don't think anyone would. Instrumental in turning a decent team under Jackett into something truly special. The League One winning team was great entertainment. For his faults Sousa gave Martinez's entertainers more of a spine which Brendan was able to take forward to the PL and taken even...

    They contain baby milk (formula) which they are trying to get to float ashore. Seems but hopeful but the intention is good.

    That's just a matter of time really. 20 years perhaps?

    Have you seen the 'Kneecap' film? It's hilarious.

    Glamorgan Cricket Club 2025 - Promotion???

    For context it's 18 points for a win with a maximum of 8 bonus points . We can't finish bottom and with games running out two draws is likely to seal second. The three below who could catch us would need to win both games and there's not great weather in the long range forecasts.

    Glamorgan Cricket Club 2025 - Promotion???

    241-7. Shake of the hands a draw. 27 points clear of Derbyshire. Two more games.

    Montague

    In fairness he got Martin's number pretty quickly. Had many clashes with him over politics etc. but often agreed with his assessment of sport.

    Charlie Kirk

    I have. That's not reflection on Kirk but the rabid nonsense from the far left and far right after any such event. His death is reprehensible and have made no comment on him. Rather than those who seek to divide.

    Charlie Kirk

    Genuinely awful. Would disagree with much of his and Turning Point's politics, but this is truly dreadful as are those who would celebrate this. Equally I am bemused how 'the usual' claim this the killer is a leftist/Democrat. It strikes me this is a professional hit or performed by someone...

    The Summer Transfer Window Thread

    I genuinely think Galbraith with the physicality of Franco and Stamenic could be the best midfield in the EFL. Inoussa is not afraid to attach and I think Widdell a good bench option.

    Dirty Filthy Humming

    I am pretty much left wing and have little issue with controlled immigration. I have three Afghan families living opposite as part of resettlement schemes and that's fine. I work in Africa and Asia and my world view is people are people. But if a certain group are demonstrably problematic...

    Dirty Filthy Humming

    The problem is there is so frequently impact, far more caused than asylum seekers who so readily cause the frothing at the mouth for so many. Whether that's rubbish, damage, anti-social behaviour or petty thievery they make life difficult. There's a lot around here (North Somerset) and far...
